Hey Guys,
The plan is to re-build a spare steering box I have and as I'll be tearing it down might as well drill some holes and tap it for hydraulic ram assist steering.
So have done some snoopin about and most recommend an 8" long by 1.5" ram any bigger and supposed to be too slow for highway steering.
Questions:
Will a 1" diameter ram be too small and/or too fast for my sig DD?
What would you recommend for a pump as the stocker is leaking and I think it's the large O-ring that seals the plastic reservoir housing to the aluminum pump side. Anybody know if there is a repair o-ring kit for this?
What is the best R&R kit for the steering box anything special that I need to know/need prior to getting into this project?
The intent here is to improve the steering, repair the leaking steering box and pump and learn more DIY stuff.
TIA for your insight and knowledge.
